The bamboo stick

When you don’t travel around, you will turn out to be an idiot. My childhood contributed to me being the person I am. I feel bad for all those people that I come across who think that India is in Pakistan. I don’t blame them. They probably never even left the tri-state area in their lifetime. When alert people can go numb nuts, average people shouldn’t be blamed for being idiots. Most people have their focus turned on to bigger TVs, better cars, bigger houses and a fat bank balance. I am included in that group of people. Its time to retrospect. Why can’t we stop ourselves? What is this affinity towards materialistic needs? As you get older, do you get worse? I actually don’t like myself at this very moment. I question myself for being what I am but then what am I going to do about it? I still want my 5 series by April and my Bose system for my bedroom.

Every time you travel around this earth, different circumstances teach you different things. If you don’t move around, you pretty much stagnate and absorb whatever crap is thrown at you. I always felt that I won’t move from place to place because I moved through so many places when I was a kid. I need to rethink that feeling. I am lethargic in my mind. What is happening in Darfur? What is happening in Kenya? What is happening in Sri Lanka? What is happening in Iraq? What is happening in Afghanistan? I am pretty sure I don’t know a lot about what is happening in many many other places. I used to know. I used to feel. I used to want to help. Now, I know what the biggest TV in the world looks like.
